A nonprofit dedicated to ending racial preferences in the medical field is suing the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians contending that the organization’s diversity scholarship program, which is open only to “students of color,” is illegal.
The lawsuit filed on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Mississippi argues that the scholarship program, which awards up to four $1,250 scholarships to non-white students, violates several federal laws, including a portion of the U.S. Code that prohibits racial discrimination in the making and enforcing of contracts.
